Cars And Salisbury Are Unbeatable Combination
I’m not a “car guy” per se. I love them, and admire them, but I’m not mechanically inclined AT ALL and look at them as a necessity rather than an investment. That being said, any time I see events like the annual Cruise In of the Salisbury Downtown Cruisers, I’m all in. The work and money that goes in, the beauty that comes from it on these cars always amazes me. Saturday, as far as the eye could see in downtown Salisbury, all types of muscle cars, classic cars, and custom cars filled the streets and multiple parking lots downtown.
Who Are The Salisbury Downtown Cruisers?
According to the Salisbury Post, the Salisbury Downtown Cruisers itself was started as a Facebook group dedicated to the nostalgia surrounding the pastime of cruising downtown that many youths participated in from the 1950s through the 1980s, said Ray. During the COVID pandemic, a member of the group posted an invitation to bring their cars and meet up in downtown Salisbury to relive those days.
How Often Do The Salisbury Downtown Cruisers Do Their Thing?
Once the group was established, the Salisbury Downtown Cruisers began gathering on a weekly basis. Then, last year, the group established their “Don’t Hide Em…Drive Em” cruise-in event. Last Saturday saw year two. The inaugural event saw approximately 350 cars and 1000 people gather to celebrate the vehicles together. Year two? How about this for growth: 500 cars and over 2500 enthusiasts.
So What’s Next For The Salisbury Downtown Cruisers?
For starters is you think there won’t be a year three of “Don’t Hide Em…Drive Em,” you’re bananas. Until then, the group will maintain their weekly cruise in events on Saturdays through November 6 as well as being a part of Salisbury’s big Halloween Fun Fest event.
